Last Friday, in my zeal to "get on the floor," I overdid my lower back exercises. Any other area, if you overdo, you're a bit sore for a while. But when you overdo and throw out your lower back, you are incapacitated for two days. YIKES. It was lots of ice and rest and Flexeril. I also used my thera roll after the first 24 hours.
When I was finally feeling strong enough and healed enough, I got back on the floor and did about half as much lower back work. I did find a couple stretching exercises for the gluteus medius, which is a bugger of a muscle involved in all this, and the stretches help more than anything else I've done for them. I will link them here for you: ONE and TWO. The links will open in a new window.
